Incredible song in the hands of Zeppelin.

​@joecleveland20 As great as Zeppelin was (AND THEY WERE), unfortunately they did ripoff a bunch of old black blues musicians. That part doesn't bother me as much as the fact Jimmy Page is in denial about it. There's even a question whether or not the ripped off Stairway to Heaven from one of their warmup bands. Although they were cleared in the courts, in my opinion it sounds a lot like the song in question. The song was Taurus by a group named Spirit.

I grew up in the 70's listening to Zeppelin. I was a teenager and had 3 or 4 jobs because we were lower middle class, and if I wanted things, even my own clothes, I had to work for the money. I saved up and bought a new Technics stereo, big speakers and all, and when my parents were working, I'd blast Zeppelin on my stereo for hours. Still to this day, when I'm at home or in my truck, I put Zeppelin on, and it takes me back to that time, and the crescendo of calm and happiness just washes over me. They'll always be my go to band and are the inarguable GOATs of rock and roll music

I'm soooooo jealous you've seen them that many times. I've been a guitarist since I was 4 (I'm 58 now). Even as a young child, I was mesmerized by Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin had awkward been the top of my list. It's no wonder when Bonzo died, they didn't feel the need to go on. The synchronicity of the 4 was that strong.

Saw them at the Forum in LA way back.

The Bass, guitar, drums, and Harmonica make this their greatest tune ever. Then the lyrics come in

Love this song!!! Might be my favorite Zeppelin song....

One thing you need to understand is these iconic rock bands like Zepplin, the Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Bowie and Clapton. For them it wasn't so much about the money but the music, the craft. They studied music and experimented in the craft of making music. That's why this era of music is timeless. I'm really happy to see young people today discovering this music that was so much a part of my generation. Because it influenced our lives, shaped our lives and inspired us and brought us together as one. People from all over the U.S. Canada, the U.K. and Western Europe. We were all tuned in to the same vibe at the same time. It was a magical time.❤🇨🇦

Polo-just found you as I was searching Zeppelin videos. I’m 67 and grew up loving Zeppelin- so fun to watch you experience it for the first time. I get those chills every time I hear it. But you nailed it- have to listen to their music loud and feel it! Enjoy!

It brings me real joy to find that folks are finding Led Zeppelin. For me, it was at 13. In the 60s, 70s and 80s we had a fire hose of great music coming at us. I never thought it would end one day. It seem that it has. Thank you for rockin with us.

I used to blare this out of a boombox in the back seat of my Pontiac, circa 1985!

The greatest band there ever was and will ever be.

Tampa Stadium, 1973! The pipes, joints, and bota bags were freely passed and returned refilled! The cops were cool and let everyone rock out with no hassles and a good time was had by all, peace out!

This was our soundtrack & nothing has ever compared to the bone shaking, brain melting rock n roll of the 70s giants like Led Zeppelin. I love all kinds of music....still always hunting down & find plenty of new music to enjoy, but man o man were we some lucky kids to grown up listening to & seeing them live. Bonkers! Rock n Roll can never die cause these songs permeate the universe.

Led Zeppelin had the best drummer of all time in Jon Bonham. My favorite to this day is the Wanton song. Nobody… I mean NOBODY can play drums like this!

They were one of the best live groups! When I heard them on FM and "Communication Breakdown" I was sold! Robert Plant at 75 still going strong.

Led Zeppelin was AMAZING in concert!!! I saw them 3 times in the 70's!!!

Polo, thanks for another great LZ reaction. This is a cover, believe it or not, of a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. Credit to Wiki for that. 🔥🔥

It was about the Mississippi flood of 1927.

Growing up hearing these songs, this was my mom’s favorite band, so you take it for granted that some people have never heard them. This is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Last year I realized I needed to play this song for my 14 yr old son. I told him this is your grandmother’s favorite band lol He rolled his eyes, but he listened. The next day I heard it coming out of his room several times… I think I did good 😊 Another that’s one of my favorites is Immigrant Song. Different vibe, but just as powerful. You can’t go wrong with them really.

I was 11 years old the first time I heard Led Zep (I’m now 68 and they are my favorite band), and the song was _Whole Lotta Love._ I could not hear it often enough, and my family was too poor to buy records, so I had to carry around my tiny, tinny, fuzzy transistor radio to listen to music. Well, one time WLL came on while my grandmother was visiting and I asked her it wasn’t the most beautiful song she had ever heard, and she looked at me like I was a cockroach and said NO. My preteen self was absolutely astonished…

The bridge of this song when Robert sings "Dont it make you feel bad when you're tryin to find your way..." is just an absolute monster. Hits like a frieght train.

Zeppelin is boundless and genreless...equal parts musical virtuosity, innovation, and emotion.

Hands down, one of the most iconic beats ever. As soon as I hear this beat hit, I'm already in that groove. I can't help it. John Bonham was 100% a beast on the kit. "Four Sticks" is another great one. Aptly names because he's using four sticks. "Fool in the Rain," I believe, he's carrying two differently timed beats at once. Which is insane.

Bonham does that on the Wanton Song as well. What a groove. Also in My Time of Dying the drum sounds like cannons. Unreal.

It feels like the blues made a freight train!

Robert Plant is one of the coolest MF'ers on the planet.

so was Buddy Holly

These drums were set up at the bottom of a multi floor spiral staircase, with a mic hanging above them to record that echo effect.

One of the greatest drum tracks ever laid down, and for a fantadtic song. Great reaction.

I'm glad you mentioned Katrina. The authorities in New Orleans said no one expected the levee to break and when I heard that I simply thought "Never listened to Led Zeppelin before?"

You might want to try "Kashmir," "In The Light", "Ten Years Gone" and "In My Time of Dying", which are all from the Led Zep album Physical Graffiti.

Led zeppelin 4 is a masterpiece ending with this masterpiece of a track. They were the seed of an entire music type.

"This HAS to be one of their best songs!" Yes, it is. And so is the next one. And the next. And the next... HAIL the mighty Zeppelin. As always, LOVE your reactions!

Zeppelin is my favorite band & this is one of my favorite songs. Can't pick just one.

Since I first heard this in 1971 it has alway been great. Now it has been out there for 53 years! And it just keeps getting better. Can’t say that about too many songs. Led Zeppelin has so many songs that I never get tired of. Polo glad you like it too.
